Car Modification: Understanding and Following the Rules

Many car owners, due to lack of knowledge or negligence, modify their vehicles without following legal procedures, leading to unfortunate consequences.

Mr. Nguyen Van B, a traffic law expert, shared: “Unauthorized car modifications not only violate the law but also pose significant safety risks. Car owners can face fines or even have their vehicles confiscated.”

Furthermore, car modifications can affect the vehicle’s value. Inappropriate modifications can make it difficult to sell or result in a lower resale price.
